I've got a feeling that it's not as simple as replying "raga" and that you are much more capable of analysing these LOL
 
Anyway, they are examples of a much more elaborate use of indian instruments than any other songs of the period. They were preceeded by Heart Full Of Soul (The Yardbirds May '65), See My Friends (Kinks June '65) and The Byrds' Stranger In A Strange Land (Sept '65), Eight MIles High and Why? (Jan '66). Then you have Mind Gardens (again, The Byrds Nov '66) and The Candle Burns (aka Peace Of Mind) (The Beatles? '66?).
 
 
I suppose Zappa's Help I'm A Rock (March '66) also is sort of a raga.

Well none of those songs you mention actually use Indian instrumentation or what I call classical Indian in form.  The Beatles did bring out the sitar on Rubber Soul 1965 which became a huge element in psychedelic music. "Love You To" and "Within You Without You" are classical Indian in instrumentation, rhythm  and in form. Songs like "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "Lucy in the  Sky with Diamonds" use the tamboura as a drone instrument in a rock context.
